Yale Repertory Theatre’s Mission statement is, “Yale School of Drama and Yale Repertory Theatre train and advance leaders to raise the standards of global professional practice in every theatrical discipline, creating bold art that astonishes the mind, challenges the heart, and delights the senses.” By viewing their website I was able to find that Yale Rep holds true to this statement.

Texas A&M University and the University of Texas have been rivals for over 90 years. Every year Texas A&M held an annual bonfire tradition which attracts thousands of people. It is a tradition for Texas A& M to build a huge bonfire right before the game against rivals with University of Texas. Students would spend several weeks building the bonfire. On November 18, 1999 the stack of logs collapsed over and killed 12 A&M students. The aggie bonfire tradition would never again be the same.

Every year thousands of alumni, parents, students and family come back to the University of Arizona for Homecoming. Homecoming consists of class reunions, a football game, dinners, parades and many other celebrations. Homecoming is for all the colleges and departments at the University of Arizona. Homecoming has been a tradition of U of A for almost 92 years now. This annual event has plenty of history behind it which contributes to the gathering of thousands of people each year to celebrate it.
In this paper I will argue that America should pay reparations to black communities that have suffered most from institutionalized racism. My view is not that reparations should be paid via checks mailed by the federal government, of an undeterminable sum, to families that are most eligible, but rather, through changes in policy. These policies would tackle racial inequality at it most obvious sources, the wage gap, the mistreatment of black Americans by our criminal justice system, quality of education, and the disparity in housing between black and white Americans.
Powerful theater combines intellectual ideas and artistry of language with the visual power of movement and physical strength. The theater I most appreciate involves the actors’ equal commitment to their bodies as to their voices. This theater makes art of the entirety of our evolution—biological, linguistic, and cultural—and represents the ultimate artistic elevation of the human spirit. This is the theater I strive to create. I believe the director is ultimately responsible for providing the distinct, guiding perspective of a production. A strong director brings the audience a cogent, well-reasoned interpretation of the play and ensures consistency among the actors and design elements to create a production that is clear and effective. To do this well, a director must explore the history of the play and the playwright's inspiration as well as look for corollaries to the play’s style and subject in other media, culture and intellectual ideas, and ultimately, compile this information into a coherent blueprint for realizing the world and presenting the themes of the play. It is precisely this studied, integrative aspect of directing that I am most attracted to, and, I believe, that makes me a strong director.
They’re also managing auditions and casting the actors, and helping guide the work of the actors. They are there to establish an acting style, to clarify character development and the characters' relationships, to conduct a play's rhythm so the audience is truly enveloped in the play, to maintain an atmosphere that is helpful to the creative work of all involved, and to guide the work of all participants to a timely readiness for performance. Without a worth-while director, it is very possible that none of the concepts would merge properly and you would end up with the disaster that was the 1996 “Romeo + Juliet” with Leonardo DiCaprio, and I truly believe nobody wants
Many of the playwrights were guided by social status and political opinion. Soon enough this turned into tradition and then ultimately ceremony. Because of the way things were being done and new traditions being formed this made theatre a much bigger deal.

The renewal of drama led to changes for the actors and actresses, including redefining gender roles, as well as for the playwrights who were able to combine the styles of some of history’s greatest cultures to create a new, exciting writing style. Possibly the most important contribution of Restoration comedy to the period and to society in general was a newly found sense of freedom of speech following the censorship of the Puritan regime.

A tradition throughout the United States, Homecoming, the cliché in movies and the most spirited time in any high school. It was with no doubt going to result in success, despite whatever the score may be at the closing of the Football game. That night was about coming together as one, enjoying each other’s enthusiasm, and having an extraordinary time.
Theatre-In-Education The theatre education industry/movement has seen some rapid changes since its initial developments and establishment in the 1960’s. However its origins mainly lie in the early years of the last century. It was the initial establishment of companies such as Bertha Waddell’s in Scotland and Esme Church’s in the north of England that thoroughly established the main roots of TIE.
Elizabethan acting was far from ‘naturalistic.’ This statement is a widely debated topic. The repertory of the Elizabethan period was highly differed from that of today as was the demands on Elizabethan actors compared to today’s actors. Elizabethan playhouses in two weeks could often present “eleven performances of ten different plays”. Playhouses would not repeat the same play two days in a row. As an actor from the playhouses could often be all or a lot of these plays that were all running at the same time, the demands on the actor were huge. “In the total winter season from August 25, 1595, through February 28, 1596,” one company gave “one hundred and fifty performances of thirty different plays.” Actors were not only required to “commit to memory an amazing number of new plays each season,” but he also had to retain old and previous performances in case they were to be performed again. “A leading actor of the Lord Admiral’s company… , had to secure and retain command of about seventy-one different roles, of which number fifty-two or fifty-three were newly learned.” The huge repertory demands of the actors gave them little time for interpretation of roles.
The objectives and goals of their campaign are to regain Yale’s reputation as being a professional and respectful academic institution and to re-establish trust with Peru and the academic community. They would improve Yale University’s reputation through press and news releases. They will also reinforce Yale’s commitment to being credible, professional, and respectable by forming an academic partnership with Peru’s UNSAAC. And finally they will protect themselves from a negative reputation by showing proactive actions to return the artifacts from Machu
